***“Amazing work from the legendary MULATU ASTATKE—one of Ethiopia's funkiest musicians of the ‘70s, making a rare appearance here on this lost American recording! The album has been a holy grail for years amongst beatheads—loved for its killer blend of weird rhythms, sweet funk, and super-dope vibes—and the grooves on the set are really unique—slow, snakey, and with a sinister, almost other-worldly feel. There's not nearly as much vibes on Mulatu's Ethiopian recordings—and their appearance here really gives the set a nice American sort of twist—almost Roy Ayers meets Sun Ra with a hot dose of African funk thrown in for good measure!”—Dusty Groove America. Japanese import.
